Hotel Coverage: MAMA SHELTER

Voilà! At last, we have a room photo of the forthcoming Mama Shelter Los Angeles located in the heart of Hollywood. We've been tracking this hotel's progress since we first learned of its existence (and exact location) back in August. But now, you can finally begin to plan your...

Mama Shelter Hotels just launched their very own Mama Shelter Shop and is now hawking the skincare line found in their hotels, called...wait for it...Mama Shelter Skincare. As expected it is full of "Mama" jokes. Well, actually, the skincare line itself is full of organic goodness made by Absolution Cosmetics...

As you know, we like a good cocktail over here at HotelChatter so were always on the lookout for the best bevvie to order when were hoteling on the road. Located right in the heart of things, Mama Shelter Bordeauxs bar is one huge space resembling the basement rec...

It looks like Mama Shelter's offbeat design and budgety prices have worked well enough in Paris to warrant an expansion. Mama Shelter Marseille will be opening on April 12 with 127 rooms starting at 69 Euros a night.From what we can gather, the concept in this city by the...

The other week we checked out, CheckYourRoom.com which allows you to pick your hotel based on a personality quiz. It was a novel idea, perfect for people who know they want to get away but don't know to where. But if you're already bored of personality quizes, we've now...

Despite a few little quibbles (tiny rooms, far out location, too-cool-for-school staff) in the past, weve often touted the glories of Pariss swingingest little hotel that could, Mama Shelter. We love the simple but sophisticated Philippe Starck design, the iMacs in all the rooms, the iPhoto booth in the...

Every so often we feature a hotel review from one of our readers that we feel should be shared with the rest of you dear hotel guests. These reviews are highlighted because they are timely, about cool hotels in cool places and are relatively level-headed. Think you can submit one...

You may be a little worried about hitting Europe this summer. Especially Paris  its notoriously expensive at the best of times, but right now, a trip there means youre pretty much guaranteed a wallet-mauling. But if Mama Shelters full and you dont want to settle for a hostel...

To say that Mama Shelterthe new Philippe Starck-designed boutique hotel in Pariss 20th arrondisementhas a restaurant is misleading. Rather, it has a restaurant, bar, parlor, outdoor smoking lounge, foosball arena, iMac photo booth, and breakfast nook. During our recent stay there, we managed to nosh our way through most of...

We happened to check into Mama Shelter on a recent Saturday night in Paris, and though well admit to harboring a few preconceived notions about what to expect thanks to the gaggle of recent reviews, we kept an open mind. During our stay at the Philippe Starck-designed property in the...

Mama Shelter is the most talked-about new hotel in Paris lately, and its no wonder, thanks to funding from the kids of the folks who started Club Med, and some ingenious design elements courtesy of Philippe Starck. We just happened to be in Paris last weekend and spent a night...

Fast becoming the most talked about new hotel in the City of Lights, Mama Shelter is a Philippe Starck-designed budget boutique option in an out-of-the-way (some might say dodgy) corner of Paris that seems to be drawing international hipsters (and New York Times journalists) to its chic bar and...

You know the scene: you had an epic evening out with your people, you stumbled back to your hotel room drunk ... and some kind of booze-soaked tragedy occurred. It's happened to us  and while you may not remember it so clearly, we'd be willing to bet it's happened...

Paris' newest Philippe Starck-designed hotel, Mama Shelter, may just be the mother of all geek hotels (get it? Mama? Mother? Har har). No, but really: the new hotel, located in the Saint Blaise quartier (which is the 20th arrondissement and on the edge of Paris), has 174 "digital" guest...

The other day, we got a tip from a reader who let us know that there was a new hotel on the scene in Paris called Mama Shelter and it's from Philippe Starck! Here's what this covert tipster wrote us: designed by philippe Starck and run by the Trigano family...
